Homesteads Pennsylvania Westmoreland Homesteader
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of departure for a homesteader family from the Westmoreland Homesteads in Pennsylvania, USA, in 1937. The scene exudes a sense of both anticipation and nostalgia as the family, dressed in their best clothes and carrying their belongings, bid farewell to their humble abode. The Westmoreland Homesteads were part of a larger New Deal initiative, the Resettlement Administration, which aimed to provide farmland and housing to rural families during the Great Depression. The image offers a poignant glimpse into the lives of these American farmers, who, despite the challenges they faced, held onto their dignity and resilience. The homesteader's determined expression and the children's hopeful gazes suggest that they are embarking on a new journey, filled with promise and opportunity. The photograph also highlights the simple yet sturdy architecture of the homesteads, which served as a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people who lived there. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the struggles and triumphs of rural America during a pivotal period in its history. It invites us to reflect on the strength and resilience of the human spirit and the enduring power of hope, even in the face of adversity.
